About

Introduction: Training of health professionals in neonatal resuscitation reduces risks and adverse events during this intervention. Simulation-based education with constructive immediate feedback (debriefing) is an effective teaching method for personnel in charge of neonatal resuscitation.

Objective: To evaluate two debriefing strategies for the development of neonatal resuscitation skills in professionals specialized in critical newborn care.

Materials and Methods: A simple blind randomized clinical trial was conducted. Twenty-four professionals (pediatricians, nurses, and respiratory therapists) were randomly assigned for two interventions; one group received oral debriefing and the other oral debriefing assisted by video. Three standardized clinical scenarios that were recorded on video were executed. A checklist was applied for the evaluation, administered by a reviewer blinded to the assignment of the type of debriefing.

Null hypothesis: The improved in the skills of neonatal resuscitation is the same for both strategies of debriefing.

Alternative hypothesis: The improved in the skills of neonatal resuscitation is different for both strategies of debriefing

24 participants in 2 patient groups

Structured debriefing assisted by video

Experimental group

Description:

In the structured debriefing assisted by video, the process was based on the immediate review of the video, stopping and rewinding the recording as required.

Treatment:

Other: Structured debriefing assisted by video

Structured oral debriefing

Active Comparator group

Description:

In the structured oral debriefing, the process was based by the mental search of their memories of what occurred.

Treatment:
